2. What would happen to if the MICE in the food web above were eliminated from the ecosystem? Describe the populations directly affected. What would happen to the producers, tertiary consumers, herbivores, etc?
If the mice were taken out of the food web the fox hawk owl and snake would be disrupted.
3. What would happen if the SPIDERS were eliminated from the food web above?
If the spiders were taken out of the food chain it would disrupt the incests and birds.
4. What would happen to the food web if the Insectivorous birds were eliminated?
The hawks owls snakes and foxes would be disrupted.
. Where do decomposers fit into this food web?
6. List four different decomposers that could be found in any ecosystem.
Funji, Mushrooms, Ants, Moths

Look at the food Web above. Organize the Web into different levels.
list the producers - Plants
list the primary consumers - Rabbit>Squeral>Mice>Birds>Incects
list the secondary consumers- Spiders,Toads,Birds
list the tertiary consumers - Snakes>Owls>Hawk>Foxes
What would happen to different populations if the Spiders disappeared? Insectivous Birds, Hawks and Owls, Snakes, and Foxes would decrease. Herbivorous Insects, and Predaceous Insects would increase.
What would happen to different populations if the Garter Snakes disappeared? Mice, Sead-Eatig Birds, Insectivous Birds, Herbivous Insects, Predaceous Insects, and toads will all increase.
What would happen to different populations if the Hawks disappeared? Rabbits, Squirrels, Mice, Sead-Eating Birds, and Insectivous Birds will all increase.
Where do the decomposers fit into this food web? At the bottom with all arrows pointed toward it and arrows coming from it to the grass.
A food web is much more complex than food chain. It has more animals and a variety of animals too.
Definition of a Food Web: A Food Web (or Food cycle) depicts feeding connections (who eats whom) in an ecological community.
